About the area |
Once a smoky steel town, Pittsburgh has become a leader in industry, sports and medicine. The revamped Steel City boasts 1 of the top 3 airports in the world, and the new baseball stadium, home of the Pirates, receives high marks from visiting teams. If you are in the area, be sure to visit Primantis Restaurant for a mile-high sandwich piled with your favorite artery-clogging meats, cheeses, fries and coleslaw. (Yep, they are all tucked inside the bread.) Yum. |
